My necklace Tangible Hope 5 was juried into the SNAG On-Line Exhibition Appropriated Adornment by jurors Dr. Emily Stoehrer, Museum of Fine Arts Boston Curator of Jewelry, and Michael Dale Bernard, professor and artist.
"Personal exploration of historical design and fabrication has become effortless, hyperlinked, and cross-pollinated. An emerging nonchalance, moving away from traditional notions that research must always be rigorous or chronological, has yielded transmigratory design elements. The Appropriated Adornment exhibition features these refugee samples, elements that are being domesticated into the contemporary jewelry and metalsmithing vernacular."
November 24, 2017 - January 3, 2018
Three objects from my breathe series were part of an exhibit at Form and Concept Gallery in Santa Fe, NM in conjuncture with the Smitten Forum residency event at Ghost Ranch, NM.
I was thrilled to be invited to join 13 other studio jeweler/metalsmiths in participating in the Smitten Forum, a Creative Gathering of Makers, at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, NM. This exhibit at Form and Concept Gallery in Santa Fe, NM highlighted some of the work of the participants. What an amazing experience.
I am honored to have been awarded a Fellowship from The Idaho Commission on the Arts.

October 5 - November 5, 2017
The Aaron Faber Gallery included five of my objects of Judaica in their 2017 fall group exhibition, Messages: Jewelry Speaks.
"Our fall 2017 group exhibition looks at jewelry's (and Judaica's) capacity to contain, to transmit, and to share messages. These messages are sometimes direct - recognized words or symbols used to communicate emotions, wishes, invoke higher powers or spirits, or portray an image or portrait - and sometimes indirect, jewels that are created from an aesthetic or decorative concept that manifests its message, often of status, power or protection, through its materials, including gems."
The exhibition will be at the Aaron Faber Gallery in New York City October 5 - 28, 2017, and then it will travel to SOFA Chicago 2017, November 2 - 5.
August 28 - October 27, 2017

Tikkun Olam (mezuzah) was curated into the 2017 Metalsmith Magazine Exhibition in Print: Repair and Renewal - Making Things Whole Again by Stuart Kestenbaum, director of Haystack School of Crafts in Maine.
"Soon after humans began making things, they began to repair them. In today's high-tech world—where it's challenging just to open up malfunctioning electronics, and it often costs more to repair than to buy a new product—the tradition and capacity for restoration has declined in our lives. This reparative spirit is still present among people who actually make things, however. Think of kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pots with gold, or a tinker patching pots and pans, or the improvisational work of a mechanic fixing an old car."
"Besides prolonging the life of the object, repair also speaks to our yearning to make things right again, to make things whole. Repairing is more than fixing—it's a metaphorical way to look at the role of makers. When we repair things, are we also fixing ourselves? Can giving renewed life to objects and materials—perhaps ones that have had other functions—renew us as well? How does the world look when we say that what is broken can be made whole again, using ingenuity and imagination?"
"Stuart Kestenbaum is Maine's poet laureate, an honorary fellow of the American Craft Council, and for many years served as the director of the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine. He is the author of four books of poetry, most recently Only Now (Deerbrook Editions) and The View from Here (Brynmorgen Press), a collection of brief essays on craft and community."

Sept. 8 - Oct. 16, 2016
Jewelry from my breathe series, including a new necklace, will be included in the upcoming exhibition Shadow Themes: Finding the Present in the Past at The Gallery at Reinstein|Ross in New York, NY.
Reinstein|Ross Gallery's fall exhibition Shadow Themes: Finding the present in the past, featuring 33 American women jewelers. Opening September 8 through October 16, 2016.
A reception for the artists will be held on Thursday, September 8th, from 6-8pm.
Shadow Themes is the brainchild of two renowned studio jewelers, Biba Schutz and Marjorie Simon. The two artists, and friends, have long discussed their desire to collaborate on an exhibition. Since they are primarily makers they talk frequently about process—in terms of technique, problem solving and the evolution of the concepts behind the work. Having both admired the great South African multi-media artist William Kentridge, they find that through his work, he is able to eloquently explore the way an artist's themes become part of a lifelong stream of inspiration and creation.
Of their idea, Schutz and Simon said, "working intuitively as makers, we do not always consciously choose our subject matter and it may be much later that the content reveals itself. We selected a multi-generational group of distinguished contemporary art jewelers to consider this aspect of their work: to identify threads that they follow or themes they return to over time."
The thirty-three artists in this exhibition come from a fine craft tradition of jewelry and object making. In addition to new work, artists were invited to submit an early piece that is related to their current work. The exhibition will reveal how artists evolve and revisit ideas in jewelry and objects.
Participating Artists:Kristin Beeler, Kathleen Browne, Raissa Bump, Jessica Calderwood, Petra Class, Sandra Enterline, Diane Falkenhagen, Teresa Faris, Susie Ganch, Jill Baker Gower, Mielle Harvey, Lorena Lazard, Sharon Massey, Wendy McAllister, Patricia Nelson, Masako Onodero, Brigid O'Hanrahan, Joan Parcher, Mary Hallam Pearse, Sharon Portelance, Mary Preston, Lyndsay Rice, Hilary Sanders, Barbara Seidenath, Sondra Sherman, Susan Kasson Sloan, Anika Smulovitz, Brooke Marks-Swanson, Rachelle Thiewes, Linda Threadgill, April Wood, Sayumi Yokouchi, and Sandie Zilker.
September 2, 2016 - January 30, 2017
My newest jewelry, Tangible Hope, was juried into the upcoming Bellevue Arts Museum Biennial 2016: Metalmorhposis.
I am honored to have my work juried into this prestigious exhibition and look forward to going to the opening in September.
In 2010, Bellevue Arts Museum launched the BAM Biennial, a juried exhibition occurring every two years which focuses on the work of established and emerging Northwest artists, craftspeople, and designers, with an emphasis on current and new work. For each edition, Bellevue Arts Museum designates a new focus of exploration, be it a specific medium, technique, process, or theme in art, craft, and design. The fourth edition in the series, BAM Biennial 2016: Metalmorphosis, is focused on the medium of metal.
Whether precious or prosaic, metal has captivated makers and thinkers alike for over 10,000 years, inviting thoughts on transformation and attempts to unlock the secrets of the physical and metaphysical realms. The Museum received a record-breaking 330 applications for this year's biennial—a testament to the creative potential of this elemental material and the powerful inspiration it continues to evoke in art, craft, and design. From this talented and vast pool of applicants, 49 artists have been chosen to participate.
Aug. 4 - Sept. 2, 2016

The Alexa Rose Foundation honored me with another larger grant to have my newest work professionally photographed.
I am thrilled to have received a second grant from the Alexa Rose Foundation, and look forward to sharing the beautiful images of my newest work with you.
The Alexa Rose foundation was founded in 2015 to provide substantial impact on the lives of creative residents of Ada and Canyon County, giving them access to the catalytic experiences and skills they need to develop as artist and people. In its second cycle of grants for visual artists, the Alexa Rose Foundation received 88 applications totally $255,600 in requests. The Foundation had $64,000 to fund artist this year, so the competition was significant. In the end, 30 local artists representing multiple artistic mediums were awarded grants.
The Alexa Rose Foundation honored me with a $5000 grant to create a new body of work.
In its inaugural year, the Alexa Rose Foundation received 100 applications totaling almost $300,000 in requests. Artistic mediums represented included painting, photography, digital art, video, mixed media, printmaking, metalwork, sculpture and glass. The majority of the applications were from emerging and mid-career artists. Approximately half of the applications sought grant funding for a learning opportunity (tuition, workshop, etc.), while the other half were for equipment and supplies.
The Foundation had $67,000 to fund artists this year, so the competition was significant. In the end, 35 local artists were awarded grants.
I am very excited for this opportunity and to begin this new body of wearable objects.

Curator Suzanne Ramljak, Editor of Metalsmith magazine, included my artwork in her exhibition Body Language: Contemporary Art Jewelry at the Wayne Art Center in Wayne, PA.
Curator's Statement:
"While all jewelry is intended for our bodies, it can also be created about and of the body. The exhibition, "Body Language: Contemporary Art Jewelry," explores the intimate link between object and wearer, and the ways that jewelry modifies and speaks of the body as subject, site, and matter. Among the works on view are pieces depicting anatomical parts; jewelry dealing with physiological processes and interior structures; full figures and silhouettes; and works made from bodily substances like hair or bone.
The selected works by twenty-seven contemporary jewelry artists in "Body Language" reveal the potent and telling interplay between the human physique and the objects we choose to attach to ourselves. Through such physical involvement, these jewelers provide insights into the human condition and the eloquence of our corporeal selves."
A catalogue of the exhibition is available.

Two pieces from my Key series and two necklaces from my White Collar series were curated by Garth Clark into Metalsmith Magazine's Exhibition in Print 2010: Neo-Palatial
Garth Clark is the guest curator of Metalsmith's special annual Exhibition in Print this year. The theme of this issue, chosen by Clark, is Neo-Palatial: Objects of Virtue and Vice. The issue will showcase contemporary objects de virtue, extravagant works that challenge the limitations of technique, scale, and sometimes good taste. Designed to take center stage, this work is brash, exaggerated and virtuosic in their use of metals.
Neo-Palatial will feature work by twenty-one contemporary artists. Featured artists include Tim Horn, Jeff Koons, Michele Oka Doner, Shana Astrachan, emiko oye, Tomek Ogrodowski, Marie Pendaries, Anika Smulovitz, and Amelia Toekle.
Garth Clark is a renowned curator, critic, dealer and historian. One of craft's most influential intellectuals, Clark has edited and contributed to more than fifty books, and is author of numerous essays and articles. He has also curated many significant exhibitions at museums around the world.
Work featured in the Exhibition in Print will be exhibited at The Metal Museum, Memphis, TN, in November and December 2010. Clark will speak about the work as one of SNAG's three lectures in the Salon Series at SOFA Chicago, and his essay from the Exhibition in Print will be reprinted in the SOFA catalogue. www.snagmetalsmith.org/Publications/Met?

Business Building: Establish and Convey Your Message
From the experts at ByDesign
As a real estate professional you are energetic, independent, relatable, hardworking, forward thinking, and you have a corner on the market. Right? But what good are these qualities and how you use them if no one knows who you are? Once you've identified the characteristics that make you distinctive, you need to market yourself to others. This process of communicating and promoting your unique value is called personal branding, and it's most effective when paired with a message. So before you plaster online and in-person bulletin boards with your headshot and contact information, you'll need to establish your message and convey it effectively. Here's how.
Know your audience and get their attention. When conveying your message, make sure you know your audience. Your approach and voice should always be an honest reflection of you, but also identify the needs of your potential client. How you communicate with first-time homebuyers on a budget will be different from how you work with luxury homebuyers. Once you've identified your audience, capture their attention with a clever and appropriate tagline. Now you have the opportunity to tell them more.
Tell them what they need to know and what they get. You have a short window of time to make a first impression, so don't pull any punches with your audience. Get right to the point and communicate what you offer and how it will benefit them. If you don't provide anything they need, want, or admire, they'll quickly lose interest. Consider your message from the point of view of potential clients and adjust it accordingly. And keep it simple. Use numbers, taglines, and basic but intelligent language, and avoid industry jargon.
Use multiple platforms. Convey your message using multiple yet targeted platforms to reach as many clients as possible. Brochures, postcards, personalized magazines, and other printed materials are great options to send to target clientele. (Include appropriate, high-quality photos as well to make these items visually appealing.) Also, consider your online presence with written or audio blogs, and online videos of home tours or useful industry tips.

LAS VEGAS — The tight race between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama has opened surprisingly deep and bitter divisions in the ranks of organized labor, as rival union leaders fly planeloads of last-minute volunteers into key states, accuse each other of trying to disenfranchise members, and even launch open attacks on rival Democratic candidates.
In Nevada, which holds its caucuses Saturday, unions backing Clinton are crying foul because some caucuses will be in casinos and hotels where a pro-Obama union's members predominate -- helping that union's members and potentially discouraging others.
Meanwhile, inside the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which has endorsed the New York senator and is leading the charge for her in Nevada, several officers are protesting the union's decision to run negative ads against the Illinois senator.
"This race has taken on more intensity than we have seen in the past," said Karen Ackerman, AFL-CIO political director and a veteran of numerous presidential campaigns. Other union leaders lament the vitriolic conflicts they say are developing between unions and worry that the effects could linger into the November campaign.

|RE: Overall notes on FTP/SFTP component

Hi Drew > Do you know specifically what changes were made to the ftp connector in the latest 1.4? I do think the problem with SFTP requires the full path, so FTP and SFTP have the same code. But they are tracked here: http://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-420 http://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-424 And the changes can be tracked from the commit logs on CAMEL-420 and its subtasks.

Specifically, there was a problem in 1.3 with the file connector where an error wouldn't remove the lock file. I based the async code block on the 1.4 file connector and how it handles deleting files. I think. It's been a while since I looked at it. Do you know specifically what changes were made to the ftp connector in the latest 1.4?

"What is this?" Good Man asked, staring at the package of candy on his desk.
"FunDip. I gave my kids FunDip valentines and I had some left over."
Good Man stared at the package. "How do I do it?"
"Rip it open across the top. Do not rip is down the side!" Koreans rip snack foods open by tearing them down the side. Good Man carefully worked open the section over the powder. "You have to open the other part, too, the stick."
"Get out that sugar stick. Now lick it and dip it in the candy." Good Man plunked the stick in the candy. "Lick it first, it has to get wet to stick," I said.
Good Man looked at my dubiously. "This is not candy?"
"No, they're both candy. You can eat all of it."
Good Man licked the stick and stuck it in the red sugar mixture. He tasted it and yelled, "Why, America, why??"
"You don't like it? It's basically just sugar."
Good Man continued to dip, but shook his head, "You Americans. And you think squid is weird."

Perfect descriptive essay is the one that is interesting for the target audience. As a result, in order to create an appealing essay, the writer has to engage all five senses of the readers and create a clear image in their minds. It may sound quite difficult at first. However, our tips will make this task an easy thing to complete. The following information will help you cope with your task without problems.
To choose a good topic for your descriptive essay, it is important to remember that it should focus on one of the following things: person, place, item or a particular event. While writing such paper, your task is to outline your vision of the topic clearly, as well as to provide the information properly. Moreover, the task of the writer is not simply to describe something but to enable the reader to create a picture in his/her mind related to the topic.
Moreover, to support your topic, you need to structure the paper properly. It has to be done in such a way that every part of it makes sense and sticks to the main idea. For example, if you are describing some event, make sure you do it in a chronological order. In case you are willing to describe some person, you should provide general information first and then move to specific details. Do not forget that introductory part of your essay is extremely important as it contains the main idea/s that will be covered in the paper.
Thesis statement is an integral part of any paper. Descriptive essay is not an exception. Thesis statement is the main idea that will be supported throughout your essay. It helps regulate the manner in which the information will be laid out in the paper.
In order to appeal to the readers' senses, some preparatory work should be done. First of all, it is recommended to make a table where all the five senses will be listed. After that, think about each of them in relation to your topic. In a column to each sense, write about some feeling, emotions or sensations that are associated with them, as well as with the topic your are covering. Do not forget that all the information provided should be relevant and connected to the thesis statement of your descriptive essay. Do not be afraid to use such tools as metaphors, personification, adjectives, etc.
Outline is an important element of every paper writing. Its main aim is to provide details in regard to every paragraph. Depending on the learning institution, the length of the essay may vary. For example, college students may be given more freedom in the process of writing, while for high school students the length of the paper may be limited to five paragraphs. Generally, descriptive essay contains introduction section with thesis statement and three following paragraphs supporting the main idea.
The final part of the descriptive essay is conclusion. It summarizes the information provided in the paper and restates the thesis. Considering the great amount of information that may be represented in the paper, it is extremely important to make emphasis only on the most important elements of the essay in your conclusion part so the reader can keep in mind only the most essential points.
Even if the paper is written, the work on it is not done. It is strongly recommended to review the paper after a short break in order to detect mistakes. A fresh look will help you avoid silly mistakes and reach positive result. Moreover, in addition to general mistakes, think about the content of your paper. Is the idea you discuss clear enough? Are there any parts difficult for understanding? Is you thesis strong? After that, improve those parts that need to be elaborated on.
After you have done working on the content, do not forget to check the other areas, such as grammar mistakes, punctuation and spelling. Avoid using clichés. If you find some of them in the paper, do not hesitate to get rid of them. In case some parts seem not descriptive enough for you or in case you are not sure if the part you read makes sense at all, rewrite them and read the paper once more. Proofreading is a step towards success and you should not ignore this part of the writing process. Do not be afraid to be too thorough while working on your paper. It is the only way to write a high quality descriptive essay.

Virtually every dial-up account with an ISP includes access to server space on the ISP's machines. Since ISPs are typically connected to very high-speed Internet backbones, speed is not usually an issue. However, just because the speed is potentially there doesn't mean you automatically have access to it. Many ISPs place upper limits on outgoing transfer speeds from their servers in order to distribute loads fairly among their many users. In addition, many ISPs place an upper limit on the cumulative amount of data that can be transferred during a given period (usually one month). Exceed this amount, and you're liable to receive a hefty surcharge on next month's bill. You may not even receive notification when the limit has been exceeded, so be careful.

Music BC's Phoenix Program, pt. 2: Lessons LearnedMonday, March 12th, 2018
This article originally appeared in the March/April 2018 issue of Canadian Musician magazine. For part 1, CLICK HERE.
By Michael Raine
Last issue, we spoke with Music BC Executive Director Alex Grigg, Nettwerk Music Group's Terry McBride, and program founder Mariel Beros about Music BC's Phoenix Training & Professional Development Program and, more broadly, why better business education for artist managers, agents, and indie label owners could have a profound impact on the Canadian music industry. But what lessons did the participants of the Phoenix program take away? Here, we catch up with a few attendees to find out.

I have a friend called Becky who has known me since I was a baby, whose Dad lived with my Dad at University and who pops up at various points in my life! Most recently she helped me to correct some of the errors in my drafts of Listening to our Grandmothers and she also happened to be in the class they first time I tried Nia. Recently Becky started a blog of her own, From Page to Plate, which is a fascinating exploration of food through literature. She's been a literature teacher for many years (in fact another time in my life when she popped up was when she took her teaching degree in the same class as my sister Hannah!) and loves cooking. Her blog brings together literature and cooking and explores how writers have written about food in literature. Anyway Becky recently contacted me and asked me to follow her in a writers blogging tour (thanks Becky) and I accepted. The idea is that writers answer four questions about their writing process and then hand on to three more writers who do the same thereby creating an every-increasing inter-linked chain of writers! So here are my answers – followed by three great writers who will follow me!
Question 1: What am I working on?
Right now I am immersing myself, as much as possible in the second draft of the novel I have been working on for a while. Its my first novel and explores the lives of four characters all of whom, at some point live in Dar as Salaam in Tanzania. In some ways it's a project of love for a city I have called home for some of my own life and the changes it's been through over the past 30 or so years. On the other hand it's an exploration of the complex themes of love, loss, migration, immigration, otherness, idealism, jealousy and control. At the same time I blog here at least twice a month, write regular reflections to people who have signed up to my email updates and I am still promoting the book of elder women's life stories which I published last year, Listening to our Grandmothers.
Question 2: How does my work differ from others of its genre?
In relation to my novel I think really the only answer to this question is that it is my own unique story to tell. When I am in the flow of my writing it is as if the words are being channeled to me from some higher place of consciousness but what I know is that they only emerge in the form they do through me.
Question 3: Why do I write what I do?
I write from my own experience, my own struggles and dreams. Sometimes I do write very directly about my own experience. In fact if you sign up for my regular reflections emails you can download a piece of writing, which is all about my own experience called 'Finding Your Way Home'. But in most of my writing I am less central. Nevertheless all my writing comes out of a deep sense somewhere inside me that the stories I am telling need to be both told and heard. I don't know any of the people in my novel in this life time but when I am writing they feel very real to me. And of course some of them do have things in common with some of the many wonderful people I have known and loved in my own life.
Question 4: How does my writing process work?
It took me a whole and quite a lot of patient guidance from other writers to get to a place where I have a process; in fact I feel it is more of a practice, for my writing. I wrote the first draft of my novel in the early mornings – sometimes starting as early as 4 or 5am. I would write without fail until I had penned at least 1000 words and then allow myself – if I felt like it, to stop and get on with the rest of my day. More recently the practice I have been exploring is actually one of movement followed by writing. I am a teacher of a movement practice called Nia which is designed to help get out of our heads and into our bodies. This is what writers also need to do in a sense to quieten the inner critic that may (often) support our procrastination or writers block. By combining movement and writing, usually early in the day I have begun to find a greater sense of flow not only in my body but also in the words that fall on my writing page. This is something I am constantly exploring and hope to share more of in future.
The writers I want to introduce you to have all also taken to the stage at The Story Party, a storytelling event I run with one of them, in recent months – I can't wait to read all about their writing processes:
Beverley Glick has been telling stories for a living for more than 30 years – first as a music journalist and pop magazine editor, then as a national newspaper superwoman. More recently she added human potential coaching and story archaeology to her portfolio and now helps individuals and business owners dig for the personal stories that will change their lives and change the world. In September 2013 we launched The Story Party together. www.beverleyglick.com
Yang-May Ooi is a mixed media author & story performer. Her work explores the power of personal narrative to enchant, inspire and transform. She runs www.storyguru.co.uk, is currently working on a full length story-telling piece called Bound Feet Blues and recently made her TedX debut with 'Rebel Heart: How Small Acts of Rebellion Can Create Powerful Change'. Her novel, The Flame Tree, will soon be re-issued by Monsoon Books.
Claire Taylor is a Writer, Storyteller, Business Consultant and co-founder of The Story Mill, an innovative organisation that encourages businesses to engage in real conversations, using the art of storytelling. The Story Mill supports both internal relationships amongst leadership and teams and external communication with their customers. She believes that storytelling is the answer to unblocking the flow of communication hence her mission with The Story Mill; to create enhanced business success through the power of authentic storytelling. Following her enthusiasm for writing, Claire published her first book in November 2013, a wisdom memoir called The Tao of Storytelling – 30 Ways to create empowering stories to live by.

Ontario, California
Ontario is one of the greatest cities in California on the Southern part of San Bernardino country thus forming part of the famous Metropolitan Inland Empire. Slightly smaller than Rancho Cucamonga, it is the home of about an equal population of 160,000 people from different ethnics. Just like the other adjacent major cities in California, it shares similar sentiments of how it came to be. From having the Spanish missionaries discover it to feeling the effect of the Mexican-American War, this city was, therefore a center of attraction for the early settlers whose impact is felt to date. Of importance to note is that the two George Chaffey and William Chaffey named this town Ontario after the big Ontario district in Canada. The two had bought big chunks of land here and started irrigation farming.
Understanding more about Ontario, Ca
The Economy of Ontario over time
This rocky terrain holds soil rich in nutrients for citrus fruits like oranges and lemons. This did not take long for farmers to realize this and they gladly sowed the seeds. Likewise, the vintners and olives farmers were not left behind with their farm treasures. Today, Ontario still enjoys some of these old farmers like Graber Olive House. The town still enjoys fresh dairy farm products which were also introduced at the same time with citrus fruits.
From the above explanation on the early economic activities, this city stills enjoys most of these activities as part of its economy. As much as other industrial activities have come and taken part, the city can still be considered as an agricultural hub contributing to the wine production in California. The other part of the economy is the many service and warehousing industries found in Ontario today.
The sports and culture
Sports form part of the culture of a region and perhaps the reason the two must go together. Ontario is the home of soccer and hockey. This is evident at the Citizen Business Bank Arena which hosts most of these matches especially over the weekend for various groups. Ontario Fury and Ontario Reign are some of the popular teams in the city. Other cultural events are quilting and theater performance. Probably, you have heard of the consumer quilt show, and maybe you did not know that Ontario holds the second largest in the United States. But, now you know!
The infrastructure in Ontario
Ontario boasts an international airport- Ontario International Airport which makes it easy for fly in and out of the city. It's popular to find most of the warehouses here handling freight cargo services for various businesses and industries. On the other hand, the other hand, train, and road transport are also heavily used by the public to access different locations. Some of the greatest highways of California are also found here.
The tourism sector
Whether you are looking for hotels, restaurants, conference centers or a place to enjoy sceneries, then Ontario is the place for you. First of all, the Ontario Mills is a great attraction center where one can shop for all they ever wish to. Being one of the largest, malls in California, you can expect to finds movie hall, theaters, clothing and much more fun for the whole family. With easy transportation courtesy of the airport and state of the art train services, this town host many conference meetings thus boosting the hospitality industry in the area. The Ontario convention center has hosted thousands of delegates from all over the state for various functions. The Graber Olive House is also a cool joint to visit.
Ontario has a lot in common with the great Ontario province of Canada which is widely known for its wine production. Thus California can boast to enjoy this influence and is always grateful to Chaffey brothers and the Grabber Olive House who have contributed to the rich culture of the city.

9927 A Fine Set of 6 Silver Wine Labels
This is a fine set of 6 wine labels made in 1828 by Charles Reily and George Storer who were specialist wine label makers.
They are formed a triple vine leaves pierced with the names of the wines - CLARET, SAUTERNE, CHAMPAGNE, HOCK, MADEIRA, and BUCELLAS.
Bucellas is a white wine from an area south of Lisbon, and was much favoured before the mid-19th century.
What singles this set out from many others (not that there are all that many sets of six to be found today), is that they are in pristine condition. It would almost seem that they have not been used, but kept in a safe place throughout their existence.
It is curious that the most obvious model for a wine label - a vine leaf - was not first thought of before about 1820. The 3-leaf label is much less frequently seen than the single leaf pattern.
Date: 1828

Planning Assessment Commission
In April 2017, the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E) prepared its preliminary assessment report on the Project in which it concluded that the Project is approvable, subject to the recommended conditions. The Minister for Planning referred the Project to the NSW Planning Assessment Commission (PAC) for review and consideration.
The PAC released its report to the Minister for Planning on 26 July 2017 and the Project has now been returned to DP&E for consideration of the PAC findings. KEPCO is thoroughly reviewing the findings of the report and are working to address the issues raised in the PAC report.
Current practice is that DP&E then prepares a further assessment report and refers projects back to the PAC for final determination (as the delegate of the NSW Minister for Planning) which may or may not include a public meeting.
If the Project is approved under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act), it will also require Australian Government approval because it is a 'controlled action' under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

text: Don't know how many times this has been asked in the past, but I am going to ask again because I have recieved mixed opinions from different people (I'm guessing that half of them didn't know what they were saying) At a local music store there is a used Ampeg SVT-1540HE, and it was only used for like 3 months. The price has dropped a lot since it went on their showroom floor (about a year ago) and this store has a 6 month same as cash deal with approved credit, so nevertheless I am going to buy the damn thing even though I have nothing to power it with, I will wait to get that later. I do however have a 400 watt crown power amp that my old band used for our PA, I picked it up at an auction for cheap. So, the question is, can I use the head from my existing amp as a pre-amp by using its built in line out, and using the crown as a power amp (I know it is but...) to power this ampeg cab? Just curious, cause I have no problem letting this cab sit in my basement unused untill I can get like an SVT-3Pro head if I have to, but with the power amp it would seem like it would be sitting there in vain. Thanks For Your Help (I hope)

President Obama acknowledged today that Rahm Emanuel's time in the West Wing may be coming to an end as his chief of staff moves closer to a run for mayor of Chicago.
"I think that Rahm will have to make a decision quickly," the president said in an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer. "Running for mayor of Chicago is a serious enterprise, and I know this is something he is thinking about."Obama said Emanuel has not communicated any decision to him yet but that "as soon as he does, I'm sure that we'll announce it."
Emanuel, a former Chicago-area congressman, has been meeting with other potential candidates in recent weeks, sharing private polling to signal his strength as a would-be candidate.

Our whitepapers feature industry insights based on current trends and specific expertise
Department store magnate John Wanamaker famously stated, "I know that half of my advertising dollars are wasted … I just don't know which half." At long last, technology to forecast and measure promotions is available to brands and retailers to significantly improve the fate of their marketing dollars. But many consumer goods (CG) companies are not reaping the full benefit of today's trade promotion systems and continue to incur waste because they use disparate business processes for promotion planning, volume planning and annual business planning.
Enhanced, integrated business processes are critical to unlock additional value and ensure more effective, productive trade spend. Yet few CG companies are currently achieving complete integration, leaving opportunity on the table. According to Gartner's Vendor Panorama for Trade Promotion Management in Consumer Goods, August 2012, an estimated 40% of CG companies still use spreadsheets to manage trade promotions, particularly in Tier 3. But this is changing rapidly. "The biggest development is the number of new projects that have been launched since early 2012 as CG companies have realized that they need to improve their ability to execute trade promotions independent of changes in the economy," according to the Gartner report.
The success of early adopters is a big reason. In Aberdeen Research's Top Five Reasons to Transform Trade Promotion Strategies, September 2012, companies with an upgraded TPM strategy saw 80% better gross margin and 121% better revenue uplift from their promotions.

Scientists create nanoparticle to fight drug addictionMarch 25th, 2009 - 3:10 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Mar 25 (ANI): Scientists at University at Buffalo (UB) have developed a nanoparticle that can silence a gene that triggers drug addiction.
Boffins in UB''s Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics and UB''s Department of Medicine have developed a stable nanoparticle that delivers short RNA molecules in the brain to "silence" or turn off a gene that plays a critical role in many kinds of drug addiction.
"These findings mean that in the future, we might be able to add a powerful pharmaceutical agent to the current arsenal of weapons in order to more effectively fight a whole range of substance addictions," said Paras N. Prasad, Ph.D.
The new nanotechnology method may also be applicable to treating Parkinson''s disease, cancer and a range of other neurologic and psychiatric disorders, which require certain drugs to be delivered to the brain.
Researchers have also claimed that this highly translational research strongly suggests that the nanoparticles would be applicable to other diseases and will soon study their use in treating AIDS dementia, prostate cancer and asthma.
"The findings of this study tell us that these nanoparticles are both a safe and very efficient way of delivering to a variety of tissues highly sophisticated new drugs that turn off abnormal genes," said Stanley A. Schwartz, M.D., Ph.D., and a co-author on the study.
In the study, the researchers have described the development of an innovative way to silence DARPP-32, a brain protein, understood to be a central "trigger" for the cascade of signals that occurs in drug addiction.
DARPP-32 is a protein in the brain that facilitates addictive behaviours.
Silencing of the DARPP-32 gene with certain kinds of ribonucleic acid (RNA), called short interfering RNA (siRNA), can inhibit production of this protein and thus, could help prevent drug addiction.
"When you silence this gene, the physical craving for the drug should be reduced," said Adela C. Boniou, Ph.D., a co-author on the study.
One downside in the method has been to find a way to safely and efficiently deliver the siRNA, which is not stable on its own.
The researchers successfully combined the siRNA molecules with gold nanoparticles shaped like rods, called nanorods, marking the first time that siRNA molecules have been used with gold nanorods.
"What is unique here is that we have applied nanotechnology to therapeutic concepts directed at silencing a gene in the brain, using RNA techniques," said Supriya D. Mahajan, Ph.D., research assistant professor in the UB Department of Medicine in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
The gold nanorods not only are biocompatible, but are rod-shaped rather than spherical, thus allowing for more siRNA molecules to be loaded on to their surface. Thus, their stability is further increased and allows for better penetration into cells.
"We have demonstrated that we can use these gold nanorods to stabilize the siRNA molecules, take them across the blood-brain barrier and silence the gene. The nanorods nicely address all three of these requirements," said Indrajit Roy, Ph.D., deputy director for biophotonics at the institute.
The in vitro findings of the study were recently published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. (ANI)
